Determinants of Emotional Intimate Partner Violence against Women and Girls with Children in Mexican Households: An Ecological Framework
SAGE Publications (2022-02-08)The purpose of this paper is to identify the risk factors for emotional intimate partner violence (IPV) against women and girls with children in Mexico from an ecological perspective. To that end, we generate a dataset ... -
Determinants of FDI for Spanish regions: evidence using stock data
Springer (2020-12-01)After decades of academic debate on the factors that determine FDI, the discussion still remains open. This article empirically investigates the determinants of FDI activity using Spanish regional data (NUTS 2) for the ... -
Did the Kyoto Protocol fail? An evaluation of the effect of the Kyoto Protocol on CO2 emissions
Cambridge University Press (2016-02)In this paper, we empirically investigate the impact of the Kyoto Protocol on CO2 emissions using a sample of 170 countries over the period 1992-2009. We propose the use of a difference-in-differences estimator with matching ... -
Differences in wage determination in the Eurozone: A challenge to the resilience of the common currency
Elsevier (2019-11-22)Different developments in wages and unit labor costs across countries can reduce the synchronization of business cycles within a currency area and therefore be a potential source of asymmetric shocks and/or asymmetric ... -
Disentangling the European airlines efficiency puzzle: A network data envelopment analysis approach
Elsevier (2016)In recent years the European airline industry has undergone critical restructuring. It has evolved from a highly regulated market predominantly operated by national airlines to a dynamic, liberalized industry where airline ... -
Disentangling the importance of international border effects. Some evidence from Portugal–Spain based on diesel retailers
Elsevier (2018-06)This paper takes into consideration that, in the presence of cross-region heterogeneity in the distribution of within-region price differentials, the impact of borders can be much smaller than those suggested by the empirical ... -
Do capital requirements affect long-run output trends?
Springer-Verlag (2011)The macroeconomic implications of capital requirement for banks have drawn remarkable attention after the financial crisis started in 2007. In particular, a considerable effort has been devoted by the scientific community ... -
Do classes of gas stations contribute differently to fuel prices? Evidence to foster effective competition in Spain
Elsevier (2020-04)Despite the relatively large number of gas stations reached in Spain after decades of sectorial reforms, pre-tax fuel prices in the country remain systematically among the highest in the EU. The literature provides evidence ... -
Do climate variations explain bilateral migration? A gravity model analysis
SpringerOpen (2015-12)This paper investigates to what extent international migration can be explained by climatic variations. A gravity model of migration augmented with average temperature and precipitation in the country of origin is estimated ... -
Do Countries with Similar Levels of Corruption Compete to Attract Foreign Investment? Evidence Using World Panel Data
MDPI (2020)This paper examines whether foreign direct investment in one country helps to increase foreign investment in other countries with a similar degree of corruption. Our estimates are based on an unbalanced annual panel of 164 ... -
Do deep and comprehensive regional trade agreements help in reducing air pollution?
Springer Nature (2018-09)Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is suggested to play a key role in moderating the benefits of physical activity (PA) on cognition. Previous research found that PA may have an impact on peripheral BDNF expression. ... -
Do political connections matter for bank efficiency in times of crisis?
John Wiley and Sons Ltd (2024-01-23)Do political connections affect bank efficiency during crises? This study addresses this question by adopting a two-stage approach that performs a quantile regression analysis on a unique dataset of listed banks in a region ... -
Do Transfer Costs Matter for Foreign Remittances? A Gravity Model Approach
Kiel Institute for the World Economy (2016)Using bilateral data on remittance flows to Pakistan for 23 major host countries, this is the first study that examines the effect of transaction costs on foreign remittances. The authors find that the effect of transaction ... -
Do transport costs have a differential effect on trade at the sectoral level?
Chapman and Hall (London) (2008)This article aims to analyse the determinants of transport costs and to investigate their influence in international trade with a sample of disaggregate trade data. First, we estimate a transport-cost function using ... -
Does Aid Promote Donor Exports? Commercial Interest versus Instrumental Philanthropy
John Wiley & Sons (2014)This paper investigates by means of advanced panel data techniques whether bilateral aid has been successful in promoting bilateral exports to recipient countries during the period 1988–2007 and to what extent changes in ... -
Does classical competition explain the statistical features of firm growth?
Elsevier (2008)We propose a statistical equilibrium model where the tendency for competition to equalize profit rates results in an exponential power (or Subbotin) distribution. The model supports and extends recent evidence on the Laplace ... -
Does climate change concern alter individual tax preferences? Evidence from an Italian survey
Emerald (2023-01-20)Purpose This paper analyzes the role that the climate change concern (CCCi) has on the willingness to accept an environmental tax. The author aims to grasp how individual general tax preferences can differ with respect ... -
Does digitalization in higher education help to bridge the gap between academia and industry? An application to COVID-19
SAGE Publications Ltd (2021-01-27)There are three different types of activities performed in higher education institutions that, taken together, form the components of a trilemma in higher education. These include traditional academic activities (research ... -
Does Environmetal Policy Stringency Foster Innovation and Productivity in OECD Countries?
Georg-August-Universität Göttingen (2016)In this paper we use panel data models and quantile regressions to test the “weak” and “strong” versions of the Porter hypothesis, using data from 14 OECD countries over the period 1990-2011. A newly-released environmental ... -
Does foreign aid promote recipient exports to donor countries?
Springer (2013)This paper uses the gravity model of trade to investigate the effect of foreign aid on exports of aid recipients to donor countries. Most of the theoretical work emphasises the possible negative impact of aid on recipient ...
